No, I think you’re the one looking at this wrong.
Btw, change your poll question because it’s inaccurate. It should say “Are you ready to throat some D when UPS changes every driving job to a 22.4 because you’re too stupid to recognize a horrible idea?”
They could if they kept it to Sunday’s only. Look at what they said about Saturday delivery. “Oh Saturday is gonna be the best delivery day. 8 hours and just your house stops.” That turned into a mix of business and house with the driver working of 6 routes and working 14 hours. Whatever UPS says, disregard and think of the worst and that’s still not bad enough. It’s unfortunate that employees are disgruntled, but we didn’t get here on our own.
I’ve been her for just shy of my 25th year. I was here for the 97 strike. What I’ve learned is this, UPS wants you to focus your attention on something so they can prolapse your butt hole on something we aren’t focused on. They are corporate magicians. “Look over here, cuz we are gonna screw you over there.”
This isn't accurate. The existing Package car jobs would be red circled under this proposal. So lets say there are 65,000 of them, they have to remain intact. Where the 22.4 jobs would come into play are separate. These would be combination jobs, Tuesday through Saturday and Sunday through Thursday. UPS is going to be a seven day delivery service eventually. The language has been there for quite a long time. These jobs could start at a variety of times. Here are a couple examples. You could start on the preload at 4 or 5 in the morning and then switch over to delivering some residential where the center is heavy. Here is another example. You start at 12 in the afternoon, delivering libs or bulk, then give some pickup relief for a guy/lady who has an 8 hour request or is going to be violated on there 9.5. Then give relief to the Twilight or reload operation. How about this one. You start at 5 Pm and you do the pickups that the majority of the members just don't want to do anymore, finishing up on the night sort. This counter proposal helps members with excessive overtime, 9.5, 8 hour requests, that crappy 70 hour junk, and I'm sure other issues down the road. Will USP bastardize it in some way, I'm sure, but we need to enforce the contract.
Yea people thought strike was for wages and full-time jobs
Yes that is exactly what will happen.
How do you know what the proposal is since there is all but limited information about it? I’m not saying you’re inaccurate, but there is no way in hell UPS is going follow the rules.
You can take me for what you think I'm worth. There are people who sit on these negotiating committees, right. Is it out of the realm that I could possibly know what is actually going on? Think about this. The world is not flat, it's actually round and Sean isn't the center of the universe. There are people that have been around as long as Sean or a lot longer, who this isn't their 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th rodeo. What I'm trying to make you understand is that all you hero's that you look up to aren't the end all. They feed off the Hoffa tit then go all rouge. You need to understand that there are a lot of flaws in this whole process, and the player are very flawed and hypocritical as well. Your guys is a hell of a union man, but the minute he made that deal with Fred was an error that will take a lifetime for a core group to forget about. Anyway, I'm rambling. You smell anything I'm cooking? Are you reading between the lines?
ROOKIE
I understand and appreciate your perspectives, but you need to understand that a full scale service provider costs 60 dollars an hour and the next closest in the industry is in the 40's. You need to look deeper down the rabbit hole.
You could never be a cover driver for 30 years.
but don’t get bit by the snake
Pension and ft jobs.
